Long Beach Pike Amusement Park California

It was a great amusement park called the Long Beach Pike in California. It opened in the turn of the century. It had fun houses, a mirror maze & all sorts of great rides. The Pike had a coaster called 'THE CYCLONE RACER' designed by Harry Traver in 1930. It was a huge coaster but sadly it was demolished in 1968. After that the Pike started to decline! In the late 1970s, the pike became like a skid row! It became a very scary place to be there. In the early years, the Pike was called ' The Walk of A Thousand Lights ' It was like Coney Island. The Pike closed it's doors in the year 1979. By then the Pike was like a junk yard! Why do these things happen?
